Watch: the first Kent Scouts Big Cardboard Sleep Out

15 October 2018

This is what happened when Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers swapped their beds for cardboard boxes to help us tackle homelessness. Thank you to everyone who took on the challenge to raise money for us.

The Kent Scouts Big Cardboard Sleep Out for Porchlight is possibly the biggest sponsored sleep out the county has ever seen.

Around 3,000 young people put themselves in the shoes of someone who's homeless by sleeping outside with nothing but cardboard for protection. In addition to raising money the will allow us to support homeless people, it also gave those taking part an eye-opening experience of what people who live and sleep on the streets have to go through every day.
